In the state of Iowa, there is an Outlaw terrorizing the guests at Adventureland Amusement Park. This isn’t your normal Outlaw, this one is made of wood, but it can still make people scream. Outlaw opened in 1993 becoming the third coaster track atAdventureland and the second wooden coaster track. This wooden bandit comes from the genius coaster creators at Custom Coasters International, makers of the parks third wooden coaster, Underground, which opened three years later. Outlaw took its inaugural run on April 24, 1996. Outlaw may not be well known, but it is nothing to take lightly. The ride stands at 67-feet tall and has a track length of 2,800-feet of treated track. Like most CCI rides, Outlaw has a single train that comes from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.

Park guests take the dangerous walk into the land of the Outlaw and enter its queue line. After they trek to the loading platform, the ride ops direct them into Philadelphia Toboggan coaster trains. The riders secure their lapbars and wait for this ride to begin. After they restraints are checked, the outlaw is set free. The train rolls out of the station and makes a small drop. As it rolls along the track, it rounds a left-handed turn and grabs hold of the chain. The chain carries the train to a 67-foot summit and then releases. The train banks right and plunges down the first drop. Just as it seems the drop isn’t going to end, the wooden track snaps upward and the trains crest the top of the second hill. The train rolls 180-degrees around a banked turn and then careens down the second drop. Riders scream over the top of a camelback turn, sending the train soaring into another section of the ride. The train plunges down into a valley and then up another hill, only to drop straight down again. Once again the train rises out of a valley, but this time riders a whipped around a 180-degree turn and then plummet downward again. The train then rockets into a section of the ride that resembles a figure-8 from above. The train banks hard turning a complete 180-degree and then it roars under the track above it. The track then sends the train upward around a 360-degree turn around. The train then passes back through the structure and riders are slammed downward into a final plunge into a banked turn. The train then rolls into the final brake run and is brought to a complete stop. After the station is clear, the brakes are released and the train rolls around a 180-degree turn and into the station.
